Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler
chapter-340

“The problem is that I want to get up now.”

When Long heard this, he immediately looked at Shi sadly.

Shi pushed him aside and got out of bed unhurriedly.

Long looked at him, his gaze becoming sadder.

Shi got out of bed, then turned around. “What? Are you going to stay in bed?”

When Long heard this, he crawled and sat up slowly. “I’m tired. I don’t want to move.”

Shi glanced at him with a faint smile. “You’re too tired to dress yourself? Then let me dress you up?

Long’s eyes lit up all of a sudden.

“Hmm? Will Qingzhou help me with my dressing?”

“Yes.” Shi smiled faintly, “If you don’t want to put your clothes on, I’ll have to do it for you, won’t I?”

“Good.” Long smiled suddenly. “Qingzhou, help me with my dressing.”

Shi did it for him containedly.

From the inside out, he did every step carefully.

After Shi put all of Long’s clothes on him, Long finally got out of bed.

Shi pulled him softly. “Well, is this okay?”

Long blinked, then pulled Shi over, and kissed him fiercely.

With a face filled with drool, Shi stared at Long speechlessly. “Did you do it deliberately?”

“Why should I? Qingzhou, you should blame yourself for being so attractive.”

Shi pushed him away, “Knock it off!”

Long smiled and said, “Alright, alright. Qingzhou, wait for me. Let’s go out together!”

Long chased after Shi and shouted, but Shi had already walked out.

Long couldn’t make it to chase him, so he could only smooth his clothes and then walked out slowly…

Meanwhile, Xu You and Fang Shuoyang also got up at this time.

The two had a heart-to-heart talk last night.

Fang Shuoyang assured Xu You that the throne was not what he wanted, and the reason why he decided to compete for it was to protect the two of them, so he asked Xu You not to worry about him.

Even if he became the emperor, there would be no harem.

He only needed Xu You alone.

Xu You asked him about the next emperor.

Fang Shuoyang said directly that he would choose one from the clan and raise him since childhood. Also, he would naturally be intimate with the heir.

Besides, that was too early for them to consider that at this time.

In the end, Xu You was comforted well.

Fang Shuoyang also apologized that he shouldn’t have gone to the brothels because of socializing.

And he promised that he would never do it again. Long was right. Men shouldn’t try to clean themselves in the name of social entertainment. After all, doing so was actually disrespectful and irresponsible to the ones they loved.

What if they lost control of themselves while repeated socializing?

If they really made mistakes, then it would be too late no matter how much they wanted to fix their relationships.

What they would lose would never be restored.

In this way, Xu You finally felt completely relieved.

Fang Shuoyang also said that in the past, he would rather have his leg broken than marry another woman. Then, he would not marry anyone in the future, and Xu You would be his only lover.

Xu You was so touched.

Therefore, the two also spent a wonderful night together.

However, Xu You still got up early in the morning.

Yesterday they had learnt a lot from the man in black.

Given the situation, they should definitely make full use of today. Now that the Crown Prince had already targeted at them, they should be on guard.

Even if they could not fight back now, they should at least be fully prepared.

Therefore, Xu You got up, planning to discuss with Long and Shi.

The four of them went to the dining room.

Fang Shuoyang enjoined all the rest to leave.

“Brother Long, Brother Shi, please have a seat and let’s have breakfast together.”

Long shrugged and sat down openly. “Sure.”

As Long said so, he greeted Shi, “Qingzhou, come and sit.”

Shi had no reason to refuse, so he went straight to join them.

It could be said that they had a relatively harmonious breakfast.

After eating, Long said, “Alright, what’s the matter? Can you tell us now?”

Xu You said immediately, “I assume Brother Long has known everything the man in black had said last night, right?”

“Well, yes…” Long yawned and nodded. “And then?”

The corners of Xu You’s mouth twitched. “What about the plan?”

Long blinked innocently. “What plan?”

Xu You stared at him. “Brother Long!”

Shi said lightly, “There is no plan, and we don’t need to make one to target at the Crown Prince yet. Now the most important thing is the Third Prince. Once we finish him, the Crown Prince will be too afraid to pick on us in a short time.”

“That’s how it is…” Xu You blinked and looked at Fang Shuoyang. “So, am I worried too much?”

Fang Shuoyang smiled. “Not really. We can still figure our way out. I wonder when Tian Xiangzi will deal with the Third Prince. The Crown Prince will soon learn that he has lost his man because of us. If the Third Prince is safe all this time, he will definitely deal with us. So, we can try to find some solutions.”

“Really…” Xu You looked at Shi. “Brother Shi, is he right?”

Shi smiled faintly. “Well, he’s right.”

Hearing this, Xu You signed hard, “If so, I’ll have to try to find a solution.”

“Think it through.” Long patted him on the shoulder. “I’ll give you some space.”

Xu You was speechless.

So, was he alone trying to figure out a solution?

Long and Shi went out, and Shi looked towards Long as they walked. “Is it good that your sworn brother is so innocent?”

Long almost spitted. If it weren’t for sure that Shi was an ancient person and not from modern times, he would definitely think that the person who said this came to this world the same way he did!

Long’s strange expression made Shi frown. “What’s wrong?”

Long shook his head constantly. “No, there is nothing wrong.”

“You are weird sometimes,” Shi said lightly.

“Hmm…” Long blinked his eyes, then pointed to his head. “Well, Qingzhou, you are also aware that the human brain is active all the time. I happen to remember something funny, so I failed to control myself just now, alright?”

Shi glanced at him faintly. “What funny things did you think of?”

Long stretched his hair immediately.

“Uh, well… My brother is very innocent, just like a pig who doesn’t work. Bearing his mind with all the eating thing, he doesn’t know anything about conspiracy and tricks, just like an idiot… He can only be a mascot. That’s what I thought, and then I laughed!”

Shi didn’t even know how to respond.

Xu You and Fang Shuoyang, who happened to hear these words from behind, lost their words.

Long didn’t know that Xu You and Fang Shuoyang were behind him, and even asked further, “Qingzhou, you can understand what I just said, right?”

Shi coughed and pointed to Long’s back.

Long suddenly had a bad feeling. And then, with such a bad feeling, he slowly turned his head.

He saw both Xu You and Fang Shuoyang’s gloomy faces.

Suddenly, Long didn’t even know how to explain.

It seemed that people really couldn’t do bad things.

See? He just joked on a man, and the man was standing behind him! Gee…

“Ahem, ahem.” Long coughed awkwardly. “Xu You, please don’t take it personally. I didn’t say anything just now. If you heard anything, that’s definitely your hallucinations!”

Xu You looked at Long with gnashing teeth, and then scolded him viciously, “You are a pig. Your whole family is a litter of pigs!

Pigs that know nothing but eating and sleeping!”

After speaking, he left angrily.

Long looked at Fang Shuoyang innocently. “Fourth Prince, I meant to praise him when I described him as a pig.”

Fang Shuoyang was speechless. “You said he was like a pig, and you call that a praise?”

“Huh…” Long didn’t know how to refute.

Shi said helplessly, “Don’t explain. The more you explain, the less plausible you are.”

Long was very innocent. Many people wanted to be pigs, okay? Just look how happy they were!

Fang Shuoyang shook his head and left.

Long looked at Shi. “Qingzhou, did I say anything wrong?”

Shi looked at Long speechlessly, “So you think you are right?”

Long nodded shamelessly. “I do think so.”

Shi didn’t respond. He found that their thoughts were coming from different worlds. How could they continue this conversation?

At the same time, Fang Shuoyang caught up with Xu You.

“Don’t be angry. Your Brother Long, he is indeed a pain in the ass.”

Xu You pouted his lips. “I’m not angry. If I were really angry because of such a joke, I would have died of anger.”

Fang Shuoyang couldn’t help laughing.

Xu You stared at him. “Don’t you dare laugh at me!”

“Well, I can stop laughing. Feel free to beat his ass outside if you want.”

“Forget it. That’s my sworn brother. It’s okay that he called me pig…”

Fine. Fang Shuoyang stroked his nose. If they could find their balance in this way, so be it.
